Enough of war - spring is coming!

[Juliette]

I would like to know what you think about international relationship (love,marriage, ets.)Share your experience!

To Juliette

I think it is great. I used to have an English girlfriend before moving to Canada. It was very different, I mean it took me a while to adjust myself to the kind of mentality they have. Though I appreciate the time spent there as I learnt so much. I believe by what you call international relatioship we could avoid many conflicts. Honestly your question was a surprising one to see on this forum, thanks a lot, at least one person started talking of something else beside war, etc.
So, what is your experience?

Regards

It was a rollercoster for me!

I think that every "mixed" couple has similar difficulties. It's not very easy to learn how to deal with another culture. Love and patience is the key here, I guess. I come from Russia, born in Moscow. 4 years ago I met an Ameican. We were going in the same spa in Moscow. I never thought that love could be so intence - we were so different! I was working in a great company with good prospects, had my own office, ets.
but I left it, as well as my family, behind when J* asked me to go with him to the States because he had to get his masters degree. Not because I wanted to go to America but because of him! J* applied for a loan but burocracy was terrible! It took them 5 monthes to proceed with the papers - all too late! J* had to start working, his grade dropped to C+ (had to be B- the lowest) and he was excluded from the programme. Never the less, we got married (signed the papers but without a celebration). He didn't have a steady job and I was not allowed to work (didn't have papers). Still, i was taking some modeling jobs to get through. That lasted for few months untill J* got a good job - and we started growing apart. He was all day at work and playing with computer after he'd get home - I felt completely left out. Being in a foreign country without family and friends is not an easy one! A lot of other things happened and we filed for divorce.
I moved back to Russia but he did too!
We were at the same city where we fell in love . And we started all over again! On the 2 of January 2000 our baby boy was born. And we are going to have our wedding celebration next summer. Life goes on!
